chord is trevor de brauw (of chicago instrumentalists pelican), kyle benjamin (guitarist for chicago's unfortunaut), jason hoffman (aka darkwave composer anatole), and phil dole (of uber-dronists x-bax). chord devised an outline that lived for many months in the realm of conversation. with a shared appreciation for the works of tony conrad and glenn branca the group formulated a collective vision: exploit and explore the sonic depth of a single chord. chord performances consist of each player being assigned one note from a pre-selected chord. they are then expected to consider all ranges of flexibility concerning octave, rhythm, playing style and effect treatments. the overall effect chord generates is that of a single note being rendered into an unsolvable riddle - a harmonic gordian knot that creates an almost pastoral feel of being blinded by the sun. the rejection of melody and structure in favour of sweeping and epic tones inspires a sense of rousing apprehension. on neurot recordings.
